Aquadive brings back the 70's with an ORIGINAL

Imagine Ford releasing NOS 1978 Mustang convertibles or Chevy making
1968 Corvettes available again. That’s what Swiss watch manufacturers
Aquadive has done for the watch world through their release of updated,
original manufacture NOS Model 77 dive watches. The model was originally
released in 1977 as the Aquadive Maritime. The 1970’s homage craze is
in full swing, but few companies have brought the real deal back to
life, like Aquadive.

The NOS Model 77 is built out of an original 1970’s case, featuring a
sunburst stainless steel finishing and PVD coating. In the 1970's,
AQUADIVE was one of very few companies that applied a layer of copper
alloy to the case to make the PVD coating extremely durable. The watch
is powered by an original vintage NOS Anton Schild movement Caliber
1902. These movements were stored for 50 years, disassembled, cleaned
and lubricated for this limited edition production.

The Model 77’s original stainless steel machined unidirectional
rotating bezel has a black aluminum insert and operates on a precise 60
click mechanism. The case measures 41mm wide - excluding crown - and
48mm long, and has 22mm lugs. The watch is supplied on a specially
designed NATO or rubber dive strap. The case, bezel, and case back and
AS automatic movement are vintage genuine NOS parts originally
manufactured in the mid 1970's in Switzerland.

The crystal, gaskets, galvanized dial, hands, and ETA movements are
all new Swiss made parts. The new 5mm thick crystal and gasket insure
much higher depth rating than the original. The NOS Model 77 case is now
depth rated beyond 200m/660ft. An HRV was also added at 2'clock to
insure that the model 77 can also be used by professional divers.
